Abstract
We have investigated the phenomenon of readsorption after pulsed-laser induced thermal desorption during the presence of ambient gas. The te mporal evolution of the readsorption of water has been measured as a f unction of the ambient gas pressure for helium and carbon-dioxide atmo spheres. CO2 pressures above 10 mbar lead to a virtually complete read sorption of the desorbed material. A model based on a nearly one-dimen sional diffusion scheme explains this remarkable result.
